Many people might think that the only way to treat varicose vein disease is to have the veins removed through a process called surgical 'stripping' performed by vascular surgeons. Not only is this procedure invasive, the veins have a high chance of returning. In the US today, nearly 80% of patients are treated by EndoVenous Laser or Radiofrequency Ablation, which is a simple walk-in/walk-out procedure.
